Would it have included a trip around the South Marine Park lake on a mini steam engine or joining in the football teach-in at Temple Park leisure centre?
Perhaps it would have included a trip to the music shop for the latest record, or a cuppa at Frankie’s.
Here are a series of nostalgic reminders of life in South Tyneside in the 1970s and 1980s.
See how many bring back memories for you.
